***Canelo vs Artur Beterbiev or Dmitry Bivol in 2022!!!***

Only when they make Canelo look good, though.

Otherwise, **** Manny and Floyd.

 

Beterbiev will tear canelo a new arse hole

that fight won’t happen

 

if canelo fights beterbiev then I will gladly be banned for good from this site

 

Artur and Bivol need to fight each other. I'm gonna need someone to beat down Zurdo as well.

 

So 22JM agrees that age is just a number.

That's odd. In another thread 22JM downplayed Fury's win over Wladimir due to age.

 

Hold on... Didnt you call Wlad old and shot at 39 today?

Useless

 

What age was beterbiev when he turned pro?

 

Beterbiev turned pro at 28 years i believe.. In this case age isnt a factor.

 

Plant just a bum. So was Saunders.

 

This^

Canelo deserves credit for getting all the belts together and sorting everything out, but let's not pretend like Smith, Saunders or Plant are anything special. Everyone both before and after has maintained that the three of them are poor champions. And it's shown, given how competitive guys like Trout, Lara and Jacobs (also fighters who in the grand scheme of things, are nothing special) were compared to Smith and Saunders winning three rounds between them.... at most

Plant's tragic story and humble personality make him very likable. You start to feel for him, and you want him to win. But I've long thought that he's amongst the worst champions in all of boxing. I see absolutely nothing special about him aside from some quick hands. I have no doubt that Canelo will **** him up.

I like these fights. There should be absolutely no excuses should Canelo win, unless the reasons are really ****ing obvious like how badly drained they've been or something. He won't get it, but he should.

 

To be fair, Beterbiev looked good in his 2019 fight against Gvozdyk but was far from unhittable. That's not the point its the fact iBeterbiev will be 37/38 by the time Canelo fights him (GGG was 36, Mayweather 36..you see there is a trend, big aging names). Not saying Beterbiev will be shot by then but at these weights reflexes, speed (both essential even if they don't necessarily have outstanding reflexes/speed) tend to decline 32-33 onwards (obviously this depends on them having been in wars or having an extensive amateur record which Beterbiev has so by no means this is the cut off point obviously) .

Re Kovalev and Saunders. Kovalev was an obvious sparring session/ fixed fight. If that was an actual Kovalev in there Canelo should be ashamed of himself for fighting an obviously concussed guy who happened to forget everything he has shown against bigger stronger dudes (ie actual intention on punches, throwing anything apart from a probing jabs, not looking hesistant to Canelos counters, actually utilising his pacey in out and lateral footwork) Saunders was a blown up 160lber who had looked mediocre in his last three fights and hadn't had a real world level fight since 2017. Let's not pretend Plant is some unhittable slickster, Canelo should win a decision against him
